TECHNICAL PARAMETERS

DESCRIPTION

●  maintaining uninterrupted power sup-

ply of  a single-phase receiver, 

●  three-phase  power  supply  L1-L2-L3 

(L1-priority phase),

●  automatic phase switching during po-

wer  supply  failure  or  its  value  decre-

ase below 180 V AC,

●  switching time at a level of 150 ms
●  voltage  switch  threshold,  switching 

time and voltage hysteresis have de-

fault settings and cannot be changed 

by a user,

●  high voltage measuring accuracy – re-

lative error < 1%,

●  voltage  measurement  of  distorted  si-

gnals (True RMS),

●  output  load–  maximum  16 A  for AC1 

loads,

●  signalling the parameters of particular 

voltage supply phases – 3 x LEDs,

●  mounting in distribution boards (TH35 

rail) – width of 2 modules.

The automatic phase switch APM-20 is 

designed to ensure uninterrupted power 

supply of a one-phase receiver in case 

of phase loss or RMS voltage value de-

crease  below  the  norm.  The  main  ad-

vantage of the device is a small relative 

voltage measurement error, which does 

not exceed 1% even for highly distorted 

waves. The  above  is  a  result  of  an  im-

plementation of the True RMS converter. 

The APM-20 device is supplied by three 

phases L1, L2, L3 with the L1 phase as 

the  prior  one.  The  voltage  switch  thre-

shold  (180  V  AC),  switching  time  (150 

ms)  and  voltage  hysteresis  (10  V  AC) 

have default settings and cannot be 

changed by a user. Each phase parame-

ters are optically signalled by means of 

LEDs  on  the  front  panel  of  the  device. 

The internal system of output contacts 

assures an increased resistance to their 

bonding and protects against phase-to-

-phase short circuit. The maximum out-

put capacity should not exceed 16 A for 

AC1 class receivers. APM-20 is mounted 

in distribution boards (TH35 rail). The ca-

sing has the width of 2 modules.
